Question
In the following problem on regenerative hydraulic circuits, you're given the scenario:

A pump's flow rate is 10 gallons per minute (gpm). The piston diameter is 7 inches, and the rod diameter is 5 inches (indicating it's not a 2:1 cylinder). Your tasks are to:

1. Calculate the extension speed in inches per minute (in/min).
2. Determine the oil flow rates at points A and B in gpm.
   - Note: 1 gallon is equivalent to 231 cubic inches.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a hydraulic circuit featuring:
- **Pump (PF):** Positioned centrally, it circulates hydraulic fluid.
- **Piston and cylinder assembly:** Located at the top right, with two sections labeled A and B indicating different fluid pathways.
- **Arrows:** Indicate the direction of the fluid flow.

The diagram’s representation of the circuit isn’t equipped to function as a regenerative circuit. Your challenge is to identify and specify essential modifications required to enable practical application of the regenerative circuit.
